The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

If you want to use both water inlets of the product, connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper and gasket group from the hot water valve. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

A

Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate. Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water inlet.

A

Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench when tightening the nuts. Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

2.5 Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

A

Do not remove the transportation locks before taking out the packaging reinforcement.

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.

• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

100cm

40cm

• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end

into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

2.6 Adjusting the feet

A

In case of not starting any programme or waiting without making any other operation when the machine is turned on by On/Off button and while it is in selection step or if no other operation is performed approximately 2 minutes after the programme you selected has come to an end, your machine will automatically switch to energy saving mode. Brightness of indicator lights will decrease. Also, if your product is equipped with a display showing the programme duration, this display will completely turn off. In case of rotating the Programme Selection knob or pressing any button, lights and display will restore to their previous condition. Your selections made while exiting the energy saving mode may change. Check the appropriateness of your selections before starting the programme. Readjust if necessary. This is not a fault.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

C

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

5.3 Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.

Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

A

Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

5.4 Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

Close the taps. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.

5.1 Cleaning the detergent drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

C

If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

5.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum

For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product - Programmes.

For products without drum cleaning, follow the below steps to clean the drum:

Select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions. Use a Cottons programme without pre-wash. Set the temperature to the level recommended on the drum cleaning agent which can be provided from authorized services. Apply this procedure without any laundry in the product. Before starting the programme, put 1 pouch of special drum cleaning agent (if the special agent could not be supplied, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale) into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment no. “2”). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into the main wash compartment no. “2”. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.

C

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months. Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

5.5 Draining remaining water and

cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.

In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

A

Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water: Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

A

Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

Open the filter cover by pulling it from both sides at the top.

C

You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.

Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region. Install the filter.

Seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.

2.2 Retirada de los refuerzos de embalaje

Incline la lavadora hacia atrás para retirar estos refuerzos. Retire los refuerzos de embalaje tirando de la cinta.

2.3 Retirada de las trabas de transporte

A

No retire las trabas de transporte sin haber retirado antes los refuerzos de embalaje.

Retire los pernos de seguridad para el transporte antes de utilizar la lavadora. De lo contrario, el producto sufrirá daños.

Suelte todos los pernos con una llave adecuada hasta que giren libremente (C). Retire los pernos de seguridad para transporte haciéndolos girar con suavidad. Inserte las cubiertas de plástico que encontrará en la bolsa que contiene el manual del usuario en los orificios del panel posterior. (P)

C

Guarde los pernos de seguridad para el transporte en un sitio seguro para volver a usarlos en el futuro cuando deba transportar de nuevo la lavadora.

No transporte la lavadora sin los pernos de seguridad firmemente colocados en su sitio.

2.4 Conexión del suministro de agua

C

La presión requerida para el funcionamiento de la lavadora es de entre 1 y 10 bares (0,1 a 1 MPa). Para que la lavadora funcione sin inconvenientes, el grifo abierto debe suministrar un flujo de 10 a 80 litros de agua por minuto. Instale una válvula reductora de la presión si la presión del agua fuese mayor.

Si va a utilizar su lavadora de doble toma de agua como unidad de una sola toma de agua (fría), debe instalar el tapón suministrado junto con la lavadora en la válvula del agua caliente antes de utilizarla. (Afecta a los aparatos suministrados con un grupo de tapón ciego.)

Si va a utilizar las dos tomas de agua de la lavadora, conecte la manguera del agua caliente tras retirar el conjunto de tapón y junta de la válvula del agua caliente. (Afecta a los aparatos suministrados con un grupo de tapón ciego.)

A

Los modelos con una sola toma de agua no deben conectarse al grifo del agua caliente. De hacerlo, las prendas sufrirían daños o bien la lavadora pasaría al modo de protección y no funcionaría. No utilice mangueras de agua viejas o usadas en su nueva lavadora, ya que podrían ocasionar la aparición de manchas en sus prendas.

1. Conecte las mangueras especiales suministradas junto con la lavadora a las válvulas de toma de agua de la lavadora. La manguera roja (izquierda, máximo 90 ºC) es para la toma de agua caliente, y la manguera azul (derecha, máximo 25 ºC) es para la toma de agua fría.

A

Asegúrese de que las conexiones de agua caliente y fría estén bien hechas cuando se instale la lavadora. De lo contrario, sus prendas podrían quedar calientes al final del proceso de lavado y deteriorarse.

Apriete todas las tuercas de las mangueras a mano. Jamás utilice una llave para apretar las tuercas. Abra completamente los grifos tras realizar la conexión de la manguera para comprobar si existe alguna fuga de agua en los puntos de conexión. Si observa una fuga de agua, cierre el grifo y retire la tuerca. Vuelva a apretar la tuerca cuidadosamente tras comprobar el sello. Para evitar fugas de agua y posibles daños derivados, mantenga los grifos cerrados cuando no utilice la lavadora.

2.5 Conexión al desagüe

• El extremo de la manguera de desagüe debe conectarse directamente al desagüe o al fregadero.

A

No retire las trabas de transporte sin haber retirado antes los refuerzos de embalaje.

• La manguera debe colocarse a una altura de entre 40 y 100 cm.

• En caso que la manguera se eleve tras colocarla a nivel del suelo o bien quede muy cerca del suelo (a menos de 40 cm), la evacuación de agua resultará más dificultosa y la colada puede quedar excesivamente húmeda. Por lo tanto, respete las alturas indicadas en la ilustración.

100cm

40cm

• Para evitar el reflujo de agua sucia al interior de la lavadora y facilitar el desagüe, no sumerja el extremo de la manguera en el agua sucia ni la inserte en el desagüe más de 15 cm. Si la manguera es demasiado larga, córtela a la longitud adecuada.

• Asegúrese de que el extremo de la manguera no quede doblado, no haya ningún objeto sobre él ni quede pinzado entre el desagüe y la lavadora.

• Si la manguera es demasiado corta, añádale una extensión de manguera original. La manguera no debe superar los 3,2 m de longitud. Para evitar fugas de agua, es preciso conectar adecuadamente la manguera de extensión y la manguera de desagüe de la lavadora mediante una abrazadera.

2.6 Ajuste de los pies

A

Para que su lavadora funcione de forma silenciosa y sin vibraciones, debe estar colocada de forma nivelada y equilibrada sobre sus pies. Equilibre la lavadora ajustando los pies. De lo contrario, es posible que la lavadora se mueva de su sitio, causando golpes y vibraciones.

Afloje con la mano las tuercas de las patas. Ajuste las patas hasta que la lavadora quede correctamente nivelada. Apriete de nuevo todas las tuercas de las mangueras con la mano.

A

No utilice ninguna herramienta para aflojar las tuercas, ya que podría dañarlas.

2.7 Conexión eléctrica

Conecte la lavadora a un enchufe provisto de toma de tierra y protegido por un fusible conforme a los valores indicados en la tabla de especificaciones técnicas. Nuestra empresa no se hará responsable de daños provocados por el uso de la lavadora sin una toma de tierra conforme a las normativas locales.

• Las conexiones deben cumplir con las normativas nacionales.

• Tras la instalación, el enchufe del cable de alimentación debe quedar al alcance de la mano.

• La tensión y la protección por fusible permitida se indican en la sección “Especificaciones técnicas”. Si el valor actual del fusible o el disyuntor de su domicilio es inferior a 16 amperios, solicite a un electricista cualificado la instalación de un fusible de 16 amperios.

• La tensión especificada debe ser igual a la tensión de la red eléctrica de su domicilio.

• No utilice cables de extensión ni ladrones para realizar la conexión eléctrica.
